Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

It is only available in department stores in Rainbow City and Golden City throughout the entire Kanto region.

Fortunately, Tetsuya arrived early, and there was still some Panacea in stock. According to his understanding from the shop assistant, the daily supply of Panacea usually sold out by noon.

The products on the fourth floor are all kinds of fairy food.

There are the simplest solid foods, as well as energy cubes that are richer in nutrition, and various regional specialties such as Baofen, Fuyan Senbei, raw fish, fruit juice milk, etc., with a wide variety of brands.

There's not much to say about the energy blocks; you can't let your sprite suffer, so of course you'll choose the highest quality ones.

Tetsuya also selectively bought some other Pokémon snacks, such as Pofen, since Pokémon can become picky eaters if they eat the same food too often, no matter how delicious it is.

Milk from cows and sheep, such as those from the Big Milk Pot and Meili Sheep farms, is also an essential source of nutrition. The first choice is naturally from several famous ranches in the Chengdu area, such as Manjin Ranch.

Chengdu is the first region to have large-scale ranches raising goats. Among them, the goats not only produce popular milk, but also regularly shed their wool, making it the best material for carpets, which is loved by families.

Many locals have become wealthy through this.

Next is the fifth floor.

The products here are cultivation-type potions such as speed potions, strength potions, defense potions, resistance potions, and attack potions.

These potions are usually made by breeders, and generally only breeders of level six or above can prepare them.

Therefore, the price is also quite high.

The recipes that Tetsuya usually prepares for his Pokémon have a similar effect to these potions in some ways.

However, he did not have the relevant drug formula, nor did he have the qualifications to sell it, so it was impossible for him to make money from it.

The sixth floor offers skill instruction services. You can pay someone here to teach your Pokémon different skills, and there are also related facilities available.

This is also where there are the most trainers.

Because not everyone's Pokémon are like Tetsuya's three, possessing extremely high talent and the ability to learn many skills.

Furthermore, even Blaziken and its friends need a good teacher when learning moves of other types. For example, they learned Rock Slide from Brock, and Swords Dance was taught to Blaziken by Scyther.

The seventh floor is relatively quiet because it's where evolution stones are sold, and the prices are exorbitant. The eighth floor sells survival essentials for trainers in the wild, and then there's the ninth floor...

While he was shopping spree in the mall, his watch lit up.

"I've been getting more messages today than I have in the past week," Tetsuya muttered as he looked at the messages.

After reading it, his face immediately lit up with joy.

"Your application to the League has been approved. Come to Professor Oak's lab in Pallet Town." — Professor Yamanashi

"Nice!" Tetsuya clenched his fist and swung it in the air, drawing the attention of everyone around him.

He immediately replied to Dr. Yamanashi's message: "Okay, thank you, Doctor. I'll arrive around noon."

After slightly restraining his excitement, Tetsuya continued shopping with a cheerful pace.

This time, however, his shopping list had been expanded with many more items.

...............

After finishing his shopping, Tetsuya couldn't wait to ride his Pidgeot from Rainbow City to the vicinity of Pallet Town.

In the distance, one could barely make out a windmill-shaped building standing on the hilltop, with wisps of smoke rising from the houses at the foot of the mountain, creating an extremely peaceful atmosphere.

"Attention Pidgeot in the air and the trainer on its back, please land on the ground immediately for identity verification."

The sound came from a loudspeaker on a tall pillar.

Tetsuya patted Pidgeot's back to signal it to land. He didn't want to be attacked as an intruder, and at the same time, he was secretly amazed at how strict the security was in this area, even more so than in a major city.

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 131 (in order of gratitude + explanation of questions + subsequent updates)

(Please disregard any inaccuracies in the description; it may be due to my oversight. This statement is made just in case.)

It will be available for purchase around noon tomorrow. There might be a slight delay, but it will be released as soon as the backend is enabled. I'll release 12 words first.

First came his remarks.

First of all, I would like to thank the readers who have supported the author and this book over the past two months.

This is my first novel (I had a 4-word piece of trash in the comments section that I blocked because I couldn't even stand reading it myself), and the results were surprisingly good (I think it's alright). I'm extremely honored to have received so much love from readers.

Because it's the first book, the previous plots and writing style had some issues, which many readers have pointed out.

As a newbie, I'd like to say that you can bring up your own suggestions, and I'll be the one to convince you. So, in the beginning, you'll find that I'll be replying to a lot of reader comments.

I even got into debates with readers a few times. The proudest thing is that I managed to convince one reader to continue reading my book (I don’t know if that guy is still around, but he must be, otherwise I would be so embarrassed).

Of course, I will try my best to revise and supplement any parts that are indeed problematic. (This will be mentioned below.)

The purpose of writing this book, as I've mentioned in my book club posts, is entirely to fulfill my personal fantasy about the world of elves.

It might not be as wonderful as it is in the animation, which will displease many readers. Don't nitpick. If you really can't stand it, you can challenge me to a one-on-one fight offline (I'm just kidding, I'm trash and I can't beat you, so I'm very sorry, just pretend you didn't see this).

But you absolutely must keep reading the book!!!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all readers for their support once again.

In the novels, Pokémon is actually in a very small category and isn't particularly popular.

The number of high-quality titles also reflects this; the only two books with over 10,000 subscribers were recently published.

The setting of Pokémon is actually very difficult because you have to consider many aspects. If you write it in a more exciting way, some readers will think it's idiotic. If you write it in a more realistic way, some readers will think that it's an anime and shouldn't be that exaggerated.

There are even distinctions between games, animations, and comics.

It's difficult to strike the right balance, especially since this novel is set in the original world. In fact, no matter how it's written, many people will be dissatisfied.

For example, a reader commented in Chapter 14 at the beginning that it was confusing to see scheming and backstabbing in an elf story. I reread it but still couldn't find any scenes that felt like scheming and backstabbing. You can't say that the protagonist is stupid and has no plan for his situation or future, can you?

However, I can completely understand the readers' thoughts. As I said in my post, it is actually a fond memory for many people.

I may not have watched the latest seasons, and I only have a superficial understanding of many of the new Pokémon, but my love for Pokémon remains unchanged. (Pikachu and Charizard really left a deep impression on me.)

What many people might want to see is simply the bond between humans and elves, and the interaction between elves.

If my novel fulfills your fantasies about the elven world, I'm honored; if not, I'm sorry, but in the following sections I will try my best to improve the novel in every aspect, striving to satisfy readers. (Keep reading, understand?)

For example, I'm currently learning about daily interactions with spirits.

Like other fanfiction, Pokémon fanfiction has a certain reading threshold, unlike other types of novels where the world-building is entirely up to the author, making it quite challenging to write.

I was quite nervous when I first started writing, afraid that the setting wouldn't satisfy people, so I would often read the content and read the readers' comments several times.

There are also many Easter eggs in the beginning, which appear as background introductions or a single sentence, such as the ping-pong in Vermilion City, the battle between Rattata and Butterfree on the St. Anne, or other characters.

I hope that readers who have watched the anime and played the game can find some enjoyment in it, and that readers who haven't watched or played it can better understand the general worldview of the Pokémon world.

The plot hasn't really unfolded yet because the protagonist isn't strong enough, but it will soon. Once he passes the breeder exam, his years of knowledge and integration with Zero will be of immense help.

This nearly 30-word article also benefited from the help of many readers (laughs), including the votes and tips given to the author, which were the best motivation.

And then I'd like to thank Penglai and Naipengyyds, ?('???`) Sending love!

The following small section contains content that was previously posted in the author's notes. Readers who have already read it can skip it. There is a dividing line.

--------------Divider------------

Then some readers may wonder why some Pokémon are described in such detail. The reason is that many readers, like the protagonist, do not know all the Pokémon, and their memories of them are even fuzzy. For many people, Pokémon are more of a memory. Reading the novel is more convenient than watching the anime or movie, and there are quite a few readers like this. Not to mention the related living habits or physical functions, simply showing pictures may not be enough to explain, and comments are limited by text, and it is impossible for you to read the novel and comments at the same time.

Of course, I will try my best to shorten these descriptions to just a few words and avoid common descriptions of Pokémon's appearance, such as Pikachu.

It won't be very long. If it is, I will try to control the word count, because it seems that on Qidian, 200 words count as 1 point, and less than that doesn't count. I will limit the word count after I publish it so that everyone doesn't lose out.

---------------Divider------------

(Replenish)

As for the pictures, I see that some readers have already added them. First of all, thank you for your support. Feel free to post them or give them a like if you have time, because I'm used to typing and reading novels on a computer, so it's very inconvenient for me to add pictures.

If you have any suggestions or feel that something is wrong, you can post it in the book club, but please don't insult people or suggest abandoning the book, otherwise your post will be deleted and you'll be banned.

Other illogical statements will at most result in a 7-day ban.

--------------

The following is a statement regarding the issues raised in the preceding sections.

The main issues are actually concentrated on a few problems. After all, I've been reading novels for so many years (my first Qidian account was with Shanda, but it was hacked, dddd, Yuewen yyds), ​​so I subconsciously try to avoid them.

However, with such a large word count, problems are bound to arise; all I can say is that I'll try my best.

The first issue is about Officer Jenny, which many people have mentioned. I've recently fixed it, and it should be much more normal now. You can go back and take a look if you're interested, or you can skip it if you're not, as it won't affect anything.

The second point is about the setting of potential. Some readers like to talk about potential, while others believe that Pokémon, as creatures, have infinite possibilities and there is no need to limit them.

In fact, the concept of potential in this novel is not limited to an unusually large extent. It doesn't mean that your future is predetermined at birth and cannot be changed.

It's just that high potential will bring you a lot of help in the early stages, which is unavoidable. If you don't cultivate it well, it will be a waste, and you may even lose points.

Just like the protagonist's rise in social class from the past to the future, it all depends on his own efforts and a combination of chance (and some special advantages).

But you can't just yell "Caterpie" and defeat Rayquaza, that would be too un-Pocket-like, so you still have to consider some potential.

Within every biological group, there are always distinctions between outstanding and mediocre individuals.

The third point concerns the initial portrayal of Xiaogang. I admit that this was my oversight, but the later addition of the setting of sending him to his grandfather somewhat made up for it. After he returned, the portrayal of Xiaogang became much closer to the image that everyone knew.

If any readers are interested, they can write their own short plays! I won't go into details.

The fourth issue concerns combat strength, specifically the settings for gym leaders.

Some readers feel that the power system has been raised too high, because according to the anime, many things don't make sense this way.

Well, to put it simply, I think the idea of ​​him traveling at age 10 in the anime is already hard to explain.

When writing fanfiction, there have to be some changes, otherwise the combat power is too low to write.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the Elite Four and the Champion are strong. After all, they are all geniuses. Going head-to-head with a legendary Pokémon is not an exaggeration. It's in the official version. In this case, you wouldn't believe that he only has one strong Pokémon, right?

There are actually significant differences between the Elite Four level dojo masters, which haven't been covered yet, but the distinction between strong and weak ones will be quite obvious.

If we base our ranking on the strength of each gym leader, who is either an elite or barely a near-Elite Four member, the gap between them and the strength of these powerful individuals would be too large, disproportionate, and would be even more distorted.

Moreover, if things continue like this, the protagonist will be able to open his own gym by now. Wow, I don't need to say more about what happens next.

This kind of writing style turns it into a story of power struggles and intrigue.

Watching Pokémon is ultimately about experiencing emotions and bonds, and I personally don't want to write too much about that, including in the past when I had been downplaying it.

This also relates to some of the protagonist's future actions, since every novel needs a main plot; it can't just be about traveling, right?

I won't go into details that involve spoilers.

The fifth point is the money system. Don't worry about whether it will crash or not. It's unlikely to crash, or even if it does, you won't be able to tell (laughs). Of course, I will try to prevent it from crashing.

It's actually the same; you can see it the same way if you reduce both the price and income by two or three zeros...

For example, buying a luxury item costs tens of thousands, while working half a day earns only a few hundred. Isn't that equivalent to spending 1000 million on character development, and then the protagonist earning tens of thousands from a single mission?

Of course, it can't be said to be exactly the same, because it also involves the lives of those who aren't trainers but are from the lower classes, but we can understand it that way.

You certainly won't invest all your money in buying these things, but raising spirits is a different story, right?

Furthermore, due to the existence of spirits, powerful spirits are indispensable for advancing in rank, so the related training materials will inevitably be much more expensive than those needed by humans.

The large numbers simply indicate the difficulty; it's not as exaggerated as you might imagine.

The sixth point concerns original characters. Since the world of elves is bound to be vast, original characters will inevitably appear, though not many. I will organize and try to use the character settings created by readers in the character thread. This will take time, so please be patient.

I'm talking about the person who's always the first to post "read" every day. Stop deleting and reposting! I've organized the list according to the time you posted, so the later you post, the later I'll use it. You used to be pretty high up... (Thanks for your support)

The seventh point... umm, what else? I don't know. If you have any ideas, you can mention them here or post them in the book club. I'll explain them in separate chapters from time to time depending on the situation. Please don't ask about settings that haven't appeared yet, as spoilers are not good (for example, the female lead). Like the dual-character setting, I think it's explained quite clearly.

---------------This is a dividing line---------

That concludes the summary.

In conclusion, I am very grateful for the support of every reader during these two months of the new book's release, and I hope you will continue to support me.

Each chapter will likely be between 2600 and 3200 words, with two updates daily, posted around midnight. (It will also make watching ads more convenient.)

Finally, there are the boring bounties.

Currently, I have a little over 3 favorites. Let's set a higher benchmark: 12 to 1. That means if the first subscription exceeds 2500, I will add an extra chapter.

For every 200 more words, I'll add a chapter of at least 3000 words. It depends on how I do it; there will be more, not less.

If I don't pass, then never mind what I said. Anyway, I've prepared thoroughly, haha. (Actually, I think a 20 to 1 ratio would be pretty good, but you have to have dreams.)
